Cycling

RWTH Aachen

Cycling is energy efficient, environmentally friendly, promotes good health, and eases traffic congestion. Additionally, it is more affordable than using motorized transportation. A bike is a particularly suitable form of transportation for distances up to five kilometers, not to mention often the quickest in city traffic.

The cycling infrastructure around the University has improved in recent years with the help of numerous measures. Bike lanes, right of way for bikes at traffic lights, and an increase in traffic safety at junctions are just a few of these measures.

Traffic Safety and Route Planning

A roadworthy bike is indispensable in road traffic. Which route you take greatly influences your safety while cycling. The quickest path is not always the safest and most comfortable route. Cycling is more relaxed on side streets, on bike paths, or in zones where the speed limit is 30 kilometers per hour.
